You can get just a hair over 80 minutes of music on a single CD, but you have to violate the standard to do it. Most pressing plants will charge extra for this because it increases the percentage of rejects -- but it is possible, and none of my players seem to have any problems with discs this long. -- ::: Lazlo (lazlo@swcp.com; http://www.swcp.com/lazlo)
